CHRsTIANsBURG, VA, October "a
AS the day of election draws near the
interest in the political situation be-
comes anxious Looking over the
counties near us we can gather the fol-
lowing facts: In Montgomery, let
either party say what it may about ma
jorities, the election will be very close
] he man who puts in the most telling
ticks between now and election-day
will be the representative. Our senator
seems to be safe. Early Moore will
carry Giles and Pulaski by a handsome
majority.
in Wythe the situation is compli-
Gated by the Knights of Labor putting
ont one Terrell, Democrat, OF
course, as their candidate. Crockett
is, however, unquestionably the strong
est man in the county, and will
despite Of Terrell be elected. In
Washington and Smyth indications all
point strongly to the election OF our
candidates. Russell and Grayson are
solid. Carroll and Dickinson we mean
TO carry. Lee, Wise, and Buchanan /
can't speak for.
Judge Staples arrived here Saturday
night from Richmond. and he will moi
return until after the election. he
speaks at Abingdon tonight, and is
booked for four moro speeches. Hon.

A Boy CRIMINALS Jump.
HE ESCAPES FROM TIE CUSTODY
OF OFFICERS.

WILKES BARRE, Dec. IA boy not
more than IL years old was arrested in
Nauticoke this morning. He had Wis
tied number of saloons, asking for
beer, liquor and cigars, and had ex-
hibited large amour. of money. He
was taken before Burgess Powell, but
with the calm assurance of a veteran
criminal refused to answer single
question put to him or to tell his name
or where he came from. About $175
in money, loaded revolver and val
liable watch and chain were found up
on him. 1t is believed that he is from
some of the neighboring towns and
that after committing some theft he
has run away from home.
This afternoon it was decided to send
him to this city, and he was put on
board train in care of officer. The
train had not gone more than a couple
of miles, and was running through the
woods, when the boy made a sudden
rush, and getting out of the door,
jumped off the platform The train
was not running more than twelve or
fourteen miles an hour, aud, after roll
ing over several times, he got up aud
ran off into the thick underbrush. No
effort was made to recapture them.

The French Republic has a new
President. M Grevy having resigned.
Sadi Carnot was elected his successor
by the Congress of Senators and Dep
uties at Versailles on the 3rd inst.
The latest crisis in French politics
apparently had its origin in .he trial of
General Caffarel and Others on the
charge of trafficking in decorations of
the Legion of Honor. The trial was
begun on November 6. On November
8, before the Tribunal, testimony was
forthcoming that two letters written by
M. Wilson, son-in-lsw of President
Grevy, ard member of the Chamber
OF Deputies, had been concocted with
the intent to battle investigation. They
were dated and purported to have been
written in May and June, 1884, but
the maker of the paper on which they
were written testified that the paper
was not manufactured until October,
1885.
This and other testimony bearing
upon these letters made q profound
sensation. The public prosecutor an
nouneed that an inquiry would be in,
